Owner`s manual
To
prevent accidental
damage
to
the
subwoofers
built into your
Mythos
STSs
from
overdriving the
system,
the
sub
woofers
feature
an
internal
overload
protection circuit,
which
will
turn
the
subwoofers
off
or
down
when
overdriven or overheated
and
will
then
resume
normal operation
after a
few
minutes.
Setting
Low-Frequency
Level
When
Using
Separate
LFE
Input
If
your
Mythos
STS
built-in
subwoofers
are
connected
with
the
LFE
input,
first
set
the
bass
volume
level
on
your
Mythos
STSs
to
sound
balanced
when
listening
to
music
in
stereo~
Then
use
your
receiver
or
processor's Speaker
Level
(or
Channel
Balance)
menu
to
set
the
subwoofer
level
to
at
least
equal
volume
with
the
other
speakers
in
the
system.
If
you
want
more
bass
output
on
movies,
you
are
better off
raising
the
.1
channel subwoofer
level
in
the
Speaker
Level
menu
than
turning
up
the
subwoofer
volume
control
on
the
speakers.
Speaker Pre-Conditioning (Break-in)
Your
Mythos
STSs
should
sound
good
right
out
of
the
box;
however,
an
extended pre-conditioning (break-in)
period
of
40-60
hours
or
more
of
normal
playing
is
required
to
reach
full
performance
capability.
Pre-conditioning
allows
the
driver
suspensions
to
loosen
and
results
in
fuller
bass,
clearer
more
open
midrange
and
smoother high
frequency
reproduction.
Using your Mythos
STS
with
an
Additional Subwoofer
Although
the
built-in subwoofers
in
your
Mythos
STSs
deliver
superb
low
frequency
response
and
are
all
that
are
required
for
amazing
performance,
some
listeners
with
large
rooms
may
want
to
add
an
additional
powered
subwoofer
to
their
system.
If
you
choose
to
do
so,
we
strongly
suggest
using
a Definitive
SuperCube
sub
woofer
in
order
to
achieve
the
highest
level
of
sound
quality
possible.
In
this
case connect
the
Mythos
STS
with
the
speaker
wire
only
method
and
connect
the
LFE
output
to
the
separate
subwoofer.
Your
receiver
or
processor's
Speaker
Set
Up
bass
management
system
should
be
set
to
Front
Speakers
=
"Large"
and
Subwoofer
=.
"Yes."
